Overview

  • The university awarded its highest distinction to Catherine Rose Ettinger McEnulty (architecture), Annie Pardo Cemo (chemical sciences), and Gerardo Sánchez Díaz (history).
  • The investiture occurred at Teatro Samuel Ramos in a solemn University Council session that drew a strong academic and student turnout.
  • Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla attended and linked the event to the November 2024 constitutional change that granted UMSNH full autonomy.
  • Education Secretary Mario Delgado said the reform, coupled with a guaranteed 4.5% share of the state budget, ended the university’s crisis and ensured financial stability.
  • Rector Yarabí Ávila described the honoris causa as a sublime recognition of lives devoted to truth and service, marking the restoration of a long-standing tradition.
